Defund the Police?


Recommended Posts

No.

What could go wrong? No police to arrest someone breaking into your home, your business, stealing you car... oh I know! It would look like the stand-down orders in NYC.

Hard pass.

Curious to whom is in favor of defunding the police and the benefits of doing so?  If in favor of this, please help explain why this is better and the outcomes it will produce.  Any negative impacts?

 Terrible idea.  Do you support it?

well for starters you know the regular ppp squad here is 100% in favor.
They will be here in a few minutes they have to call soros to find out exactly how to respond to this post.

 

Also this squad ...

Also the scowl on Presley's face makes me think there may be a concentration camp somewhere in my future.

DAVID BERNSTEIN:

 

There are plenty of police reforms that could be enacted from a libertarian perspective that would improve matters.

 

Qualified immunity reform is libertarian. Holding police accountable for misbehavior is libertarian. Reducing the power of police unions is libertarian. Getting rid of overtime and pension abuse is libertarian. Banning no-knock raids is libertarian. Reducing bloated police department bureaucracies is libertarian.

 

Broader reforms that would reduce the need for police and reduce police/civilian encounters are also libertarian. Getting rid of victimless crimes, especially the drug war, and certain categories of criminal business regulation that should be handled civilly is libertarian. Getting rid of taxes that lead to black markets that in turn lead to police/civilian encounters is libertarian. Abolishing laws that allow local governments to put people in jail for failure to pay civil fines is libertarian. Separating forensic science services from prosecutors’ offices is libertarian. Holding prosecutors accountable for misconduct is libertarian. Finding alternatives to prison for certain categories of offenders is libertarian.

 

By contrast, “defunding the police,” if that just means willy-nilly cuts, is not libertarian.

 

 

 

If you get rid of the police, they will be replaced by vigilante justice and mob “protection.”

Not at all and can see no redeeming value.   Trying to understand why anyone would think it is a good idea.  The libs on here may be able to help with their POV.

It's a local issue for local communities to decide. A case can be made for shifting budgets to address non-criminal community issues that too often police are called to resolve.

 

Abolish the police? No. Stop asking police to do the jobs of social workers? Maybe. The devil's on the details.

I am in favor of a complete defunding and dismantlement of law enforcement agencies that operate in Democrat-controlled cities.

 

The entertainment value would be tremendous.

...a woefully sick lib response to turn over the reigns to anarchy.....they are inept in confronting the problem head on so they bail as usual......ICE resistance, sanctuary cities, homelessness, defecating in the streets/establishments, allow to steal $945 in goods ...elect the weak who have no ability to come up with constructive solutions....they just cave and bail....we're screwed....throw in funding illegal immigrants with taxpayer dollars, etc...

Don't forget one of my favorites, letting criminals out of jail, no bail required on rioters
